• Q: How to Replace the Oil Filter on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: The replacement process for the 2ZR-FE engine oil filter starts with draining engine oil through the removal of the oil pan drain plug while emptying all oil content. Replace the drain plug after it has been cleaned while using a new gasket and torquing it to 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf). Proceed by using Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to remove the oil filter cap while you catch drained oil in a container. You should loosen the cap four turns until the cap ribs line up vertically before oil drains out of the gap. The oil filter element and O-ring should be removed from the cap while handling the O-ring manually because damage to the groove can occur. Wash the interior of the oil filter cap together with its threads and O-ring groove before adding a thin coat of engine oil to a fresh O-ring that needs to be placed onto the cap. Install a new oil filter element inside of the cap and then sanitize the installation surface of the engine using engine oil prior to cap reinstallation. Apply Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 to tighten the cap to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). This will ensure proper installation of the filter with no damage to the O-ring. To finish the process add new engine oil then install the oil filler cap before inspecting for oil leaks and checking the oil level.
